  1. Why BTTW never returns to the opening riff, I'll never know. Pretty much downhill after the first 30!
  2. To find out about this or any PA, from speakers on sticks to stadium-sized rigs, ProSoundWeb is the place to go. http://forums.prosoundweb.com/index.php You might even get a response from the rig-in-question's manufacturer and provider. Great forum. You could also try over at gearslutz http://www.gearslutz.com/board/ Note: since lots of electricity, heavy boxes and rigging are involved, PSW forum participants are asked to use their real names when posting.
  3. If you're willing to go dive-only, my experience has been that blocking the Floyd with a piece of wood makes the guitar acoustically louder and less ping-y with better sustain and a 28% increase in mojo. In all seriousness, I could hear the difference immediately, before I even plugged in.
  4. Bingo.There are lotsa bands that if ya didn't see 'em in the '70s, ya didn't see 'em. Heart, ZZ Top, Aerosmith, VH, Ted, Kiss, Eagles, the list goes on.
  5. There's a great new restaurant in town. Of course, I haven't tried the food yet, but the menu is nice and shiny.
  6. Yah. The old Down in Flames was darker, heavier, and... better.To my knowledge, the only recording of Down in Flames is on the bootleg from the famous Sunday afternoon gig opening for Sabbath in Nashville. http://www.vhboots.c...vember1978.html Me thinks that since the new album has three tracks essentially written before they were signed speaks to what Sammy has said about EVH -- lotsa riffs in the can, but no songs. Either that, or it's a conscious decision to try to get some of their old vibe back, which would be nice. It'll be interesting to hear what they do to Bullethead, which used to be just two minutes long. Bottom line, if these tracks were that good to begin with, they would've been on the first album, or at least recycled (like Voodoo Queen & Where Were You Last Night) long before thirty years had passed. Like I said before, I'm A-OK with releasing old songs, if only they'd chosen the best ones! "She's the Woman", IMHO, wasn't one of them.
  7. Has it been 6 years? Wow. Time flies with the advent of senility! Hope to return soon.
  8. FWIW, my Dyna Comp circa 1981 has a power adapter. It uses the old 1/8" jack (the blue adapter found in your friendly neighborhood Godlyke PowerAll).
  9. Any and all EZN references are appreciated. Carry on.
  10. Hi Turdus - I couldn't help notice the obvious... that Skunk was standing during that video from '75. By the time I saw the Doobies in '76 or '77, he was already seated. At the time, that didn't strike me as exactly guitar heroic.Did he develop a physical condition that put him on that stool or was it his "idiom"?
  11. If the game was in Florida, I'd have Ozzy do "Crazy Train", followed by Motley doing "Kickstart", then both on stage to do "Paranoid". I'd then have them whisked away to a nearby launchpad, and at the end of the 3rd quarter, broadcast the blast-off of the final Shuttle mission, sending both bands (and Sharon) on a one-way trip into deep space.
  12. I'm bumming on such short notice. Ya know I dig the Fab Four! It's been a while, El. A few weeks ago I was gonna catch a Baby Jane and the Contractions gig, but saw on the web site that the guy who BRINGS THE ROCK had moved on. OK, so now I know that DWTM fans need to be ready to deploy in 2 hours. I'll try to do better next time. Have a good one, guys! It's hot out there!
